Author Talk - Kidnapping of Free Citizens before the Civil War

with David Fiske


Date:	5/7/2016 - 5/7/2016
Time:	01:30 pm
Location:	New York State Library
Category:	History
Summary:	Author David Fiske will explain the factors behind why free blacks were kidnapped and sold into slavery, as Solomon Northup was.
Details:	The film 12 years a Slave told of Solomon Northup's kidnapping and enslavement before the Civil War, but Northup's victimization was not an isolated incident. Economics and governmental actions made such crimes profitable, and many citizens, primarily free blacks, were victimized. This presentation will explain how kidnappers could operate with relative ease, and tell about several of the victims included in David Fiske's recent book, Solomon Northup's Kindred. Mr. Fiske will be signing copies of the book at the event.
